I posted about this before, but the response didn't help - so I thought I'd try posting again.
I have a function that's putting together a GET request and sending it off with $.getScript to retrieve an XML file. When I get the response back, Javascript throws an exception: missing ; before statement. I take that to mean that jQuery is handling the XML like a Javascript file. But the response is there! I can't get this to work with $.get - it just hasn't worked. So what I'm wondering is if I can work around this exception, or find some other way to get at the response. Here's my code: if(hasError == false) { $('#login').hide('slow'); var getURL = "http://***.com/app/xml.pl?Email=" + emailVal + "&Password=" + passVal; try { $.getScript(getURL, function(xml){ getXML(xml); }); } catch (e){ console.log(e); } } If someone can explain how I can get $.get to work, I'd take that as a positive step, too.
